PEEFACE. 


This  Dictionary  is  presented  to  the  people  of  the  Southern  States  as  the 
basis  of  a  future  one,  which  ma}^  embody  the  words,  pronunciation,  and 
meanings  that  are  adopted  and  used  by  our  best  speakers  and  writers. 
And  whereas  no  one  person  is  competent  to  determine  these  things  for  the 
whole  nation,  the  attention  of  teachers,  professors,  and  all  who  desire  to 
promote  elegance  and  accuracy  in  the  use  of  language  among  the  rising 
generation,  is  respectfully  invited  to  this  book,  and  they  are  requested 
to  mark  down  its  errors,  omissions,  and  redundancies,  and  send  their 
notes  and  emendations  to  the  Publisher,  who  will  not  only  gladly  avail 
himself  of  them,  but  cheerfully  rcmunei-ate  any  whose  labours  may  be 
productive  of  considerable  advantage  to  the  work. 

If  this  request  is  generally  heeded,  materials  may  be  collected  for 
a  National  Dictionary. 

That  such  a  book  is  needed  must  be  evident  from  such  words  as 
"  creek,"  which  is  pronounced  "  crick  "  in  New  England,  and  means  "  an 
inlet  of  the  sea  "  in  Great  Britain,  while,  in  the  South,  it  differs  from  New 
England  iu  its  pronunciation,  and  from  England  in  its  meaning. 


Directions  to  those  who  comply  with  the  above  request. 

Mark  on  the  margin,  and  make  a  note  on  paper  to  be  sent  to  the 
Publisher,  all  words  which  are — 

1 .  Pronounced  wrong. 

2.  Spelt  wrong. 

3.  Defective  meanings. 

4.  Omitted. 

5.  Not  in  common  use  (that  in  next  edition  they  may  be  printed  in 
smaller  type). 

6.  Very  rai'e  (that  they  may  be  put  in  smallest  type). 

Transmit  these  notes  to  the  Publisher,  with  your  name  and  residence, 
that  it  may  be  known  to  whom  he  is  indebted  for  them.

ERRATA. 

The  words  "  puur,"  "  i)ouriuff,"  &c.,  sliould   be  pronounced  like  the 
word  "  pore,"  iic,  and  not  like  the  word  "  power."

The  superiority  of  Walkers  Pronouncino  Dictionary  over 
other  productions  of  the  same  kind  has  been  so  long  established  that 
it  would  be  superfluous  to  descant  upon  it.  He  brought  to  the 
performance  of  his  task  a  spirit  of  patient  investigation,  extensive 
grammatical  knowledge,  and  sound  judgment.  But  in  all  works 
relating  to  languages,  however  perfect  they  may  originally  be, 
Time,  that  greatest  of  all  innovators,  will  at  length  make  reform 
indispensable.  It  has  consequently  been  found  necessarj-  to  intro- 
duce a  few  changes  and  additions  in  the  present  reprint  of  Walker's 
Dictionary.  New  words  and  definitions  have  been  added;  defini- 
tions which,  by  late  scientific  discoveries,  are  proved  to  be  enoneous, 
have  been  amended ;  and,  in  some  instances,  where  it  had  become 
obsolete,  the  pronunciation  has  been  rendered  conformable  to  modern 
usage.  As  in  all  books,  but  moie  especially  in  a  Dictionary,  cor- 
rectness is  an  object  of  paramount  importance,  the  utmost  care  has 
been  taken  to  exclude  t\T)ographical  errors ;  and  it  is  believed  that 
the  care  has  not  been  fruitlessly  bestowed.  On  the  cheapness,  the 
convenient  size,  and  the  elegant  printing  of  this  volume,  it  is 
needless  to  say  a  word ;  they  are  so  obvious  that  they  cannot  fail  to 
be  noticed  even  by  superficial  observers.

TO    THE    PRESENT    EDITION, 


In  the  Edition  of  "Walker's  Dictionary  "whicli  is  now  presented 
to  the  public,  it  is  hoped  that  a  considerable  improvement  has,  in 
more  than  one  respect,  been  effected.  The  work  has  been  augmented 
by  the  insertion  of  nearly  five  thousand  words;  many  additions  and 
corrections  have  been  made  in  the  definitions;  a  holder  and  more 
legible  type,  cast  for  the  pui-pose,  has  been  employed;  and  the  utmost 
care  has  been  taken  to  render  the  volume  perfectly  free  from  typo- 
graphical errors.  The  last  point  the  Editor  considers  to  be  of  the 
utmost  importance,  especially  in  a  Dictionary ;  and  he  therefore 
avails  himself  of  this  opportunity  to  state,  that  he  is  not  responsible 
for  any  misprint  that  may  be  found  (if  any  there  be)  in  the  editions 
of  Walker  which  have  appeared  since  1831,  the  proof  sheets  of  those 
editions  not  having  been  submitted  to  his  inspection.

rather  et  per  se  and ;  ff,fi,fi,  ffi,  ffl,  and  if. 

Our  letters,  says  Dr.  Johnson,  are  com- 
monly reckoned  twenty-four,  because  an- 
ciently •  and  j,  as  well  as  m  and  r,  were 
expressed  by  the  same  character ;  but  as 
these  letters,  which  had  always  different 
powers,  have  now  different  forms,  our  alpha- 
bi  t  may  he  properly  said  to  consist  of 
twenty-six  letters. 

In  considering  the  sounds  of  these  first 
principles  of  language,  we  find  that  some  are 
80  simple  and  unmixed,  that  there  is  nothing 
requir<:d  but  the  opening  of  the  mouth  to 


make  them  understood,  and  to  form  different 
sounds.  Whence  they  have  the  names  of 
vowelt  or  vnirti  »7  rocnl  toundt.  On  the  con- 
trary, we  find  that  there  are  others,  whose 
pronunciation  depends  on  the  particular  ap- 
plication and  use  of  every  part  of  the  mouth, 
as  the  teeth,  the  lips,  the  tongue,  the  palate, 
&c.,  which  yet  cannot  make  any  one  perfect 
•ound  but  by  their  union  with  those  vocal 
sounds :  and  these  are  called  cnntonants,  or 
letters  sounding  with  other  letters. 

Definition  qf  FmoeU  and  Consonanti. 

Vowels  are  generally  reckoned  to  be  five 
In  number ;  namely,  a,  e,  i,  o,u:  y  and  w  are 
called  vowels  when  they  end  a  syllable  or 
word,  and  consonants  when  they  be^in  one. 

The  definition  of  a  vowel,  a3  little  liable  to 
exception  as  any,  seems  to  be  the  foUowinfc: 
a  vowel  is  a  simple  sound  formed  by  a  con- 
tinued effusion  of  the  breath,  and  a  certain 
conformation  of  the  mouth,  without  any 
alteration  in  the  position,  or  any  motion  of 
the  organs  of  speech,  from  the  moment  the 
vocal  sound  commences  till  it  ends. 

A  consonant  may  be  defined  to  be  an  inter- 
ruption of  the  effusion  of  vocal  sound,  arising 
from  the  application  of  the  organs  of  speech 
to  each  other. 

Agreeably  to  this  definition,  vowels  may  be 
divided  into  two  kinds,  the  simple  and  com- 
pound. The  simple  a,  e,  o,  are  those  which 
are  formed  by  oneconformation  of  the  organs 
only;  that  is,  the  organs  remain  exactly  in 
the  same  position  at  the  end  ns  at  the  begin- 
ning of  the  letter ;  whereas,  in  the  compound 
vowels  I  and  u,  the  orfjaus  alter  their  position 
before  the  letter  is  completely  sounded :  nay, 
these  letters,  when  commencing  a  syllable, 
do  not  only  require  a  different  position  of  the 
organ,  in  order  to  form  them  perfectly,  but 
demand  such  an  application  of  tlie  tongue  to 
the  roof  of  the  mouth  as  isincnnsistcnt  with 
the  nature  of  a  pure  vowel ;  for  the  first  of 
these  letters,  ?,  when  sounded  alone,  or  end- 
ing a  syllable  with  the  accent  upon  it,  is  a 
real  diphthong,  composed  of  the  sounds  of  a 
vafa-ther,  and  oi  e  in  the,  exactly  correspoa- 


n 

<lent  to  tlie  sound  of  the  -noivaei/e;  and  when 
tins  letter  commences  a  syllable,  as  in  mhi- 
ion,  pin-ion,  &c.,  the  sound  of  e  with  which 
it  terminates  is  squeezed  into  a  consonant 
sound,  like  the  double  e  beard  in  queen,  dif- 
ferent Irom  the  simple  sound  of  that  letter 
in  quean,  and  this  squeezed  sound  in  the  com- 
mencing i  makes  it  exactly  similar  to  y  iu 
the  same  situation;  which,  by  all  sfamma- 
rians,  is  acknowledged  to  be  a  consonant. 
The  lat  ter  of  these  compound  vowels,  K,w  lien 
initial,  and  not  shortened  by  a  consonant, 
oomniences  with  this  squeezcil  sound  ot  e, 
equivalent  to  the  ?/,  and  ends  with  a  sound 
given  to  00  in  %coo  aiid  coo,  which  makes  its 
name  in  tlie  alphabet  exactly  similar  to  the 
pnmtmn  you.  If,  therefore,  the  common  de- 
finition of  a  vowel  be  just,  these  two  letters 
are  so  far  from  being  simple  vowels,  that 
they  may  more  properly  be  called  semicon- 
eonant  diphth<m;cs. 

That  .V  and  w  are  consonants  when  they 
bescin  a  word,  and  vowels  when  they  end  one, 
is  tcenerally  acknowledged  by  the  bp.^t  frram- 
marians;  and  yet  Dr.  Lowth  has  told  us  that 
ui  is  equivalent  to  oo ;  but,  if  this  were  the 
case,  it  would  always  admit  of  the  particle 
an  before  it ;  for,  though  we  have  no  word 
in  the  lang\iage  wliich  commences  with  these 
letters,  we  plainly  perceive  tliat,  if  we  had 
such  a  wora,  it  would  readily  admit  of  an, 
before  it,  and  consequently  that  these  letters 
are  not  equivalent  to  w.  Thus  we  find  that 
the  common  opinion,  with  respect  to  the 
double  capacity  of  tliese  letters,  is  perfectly 
just. 

Besides  the  vowels  already  mentioned, 
there  is  another  simple  vowel  sound  found 
under  the  oo  in  the  words  jooo  and  coo;  these 
letters  have  in  these  two  words  every  pro- 
perty of  a  pure  vowel,  but  when  found  in 
food,  nwod,  &c.,  and  in  the  word  too,  pro- 
nounced like  tlic  adjective  two:  here  the  oo 
has  a  squeezed  soimd  occasioned  by  con- 
tracting the  mouth,  so  as  to  make  the  lips 
nearly  touch  each  other:  and  this  makes  it, 
like  the  t  and  u,  not  so  much  a  double  vov/el 
as  a  sound  between  a  vow  el  and  a  consonant. 

Classijication  of  Voicels  and  Consonants. 

Vowels  and  consonants  being  thus  defined, 
it  will  be  necessary,  in  the  next  place,  to 
arrange  them  into  such  classes  as  their  simi- 
litudes and  specific  diit'erences  seem  to  re- 
quire. 

Letters,  therefore,  are  naturally  divisible 
into  vowels  and  consonants. 

The  vo»  els  are,  a,  c,  i,  o,  u  and  y  and  w 
when  ending  a  sylla'^le. 

The  consonants  are,  b,  e,  d,  f,  p,  h,  j,  k,  I, 
m,  n,  p,  q,  r,  a,  t,  v,  x,  z,  and  y  and  w  when 
beginning  a  syllable. 

The  vowels  may  be  subdivided  into  such  as 
are  simple  and  pure,  and  into  such  as  are 
compound  and  impure.  The  simple  or  pure 
vowels  are  such  as  require  only  one  confor- 
mation of  the  organs  to  form  them,  and  uo 
motion  in  the  organs  while  foru-jiiig. 

The  compound  or  impure  vowels  are  such 
as  require  more  than  one  conformation  of 
the  organs  to  form  them,  and  a  motion  iu 
the  organs  while  forming.  These  obser- 
\-'.tion»  premised,  we  may  call  the  followimj

Diphthongs  and  Triphthongs  enumerated.

generally  called  a  diphthong,  and  three  a

Consonants  enumerated  and  distinguished  into 
Classes. 

The  consonants  are  divisible  into  mutes, 
semi-vowels,  and  liquids. 

The  mutes  are  such  as  emit  no  sound  with- 
out a  vowel,  as  b,  p,  t,  d,  k,  and  c  and  g  hard. 

The  semi-vowels  are  such  as  emit  a  scnnd 
withotit  the  coiicurrence  of  a  vowel,  as/,  v, 
s,  :,  X,  g  soft  or^". 

The  liquids  are  such  as  flow  into,  or  tuiite 
easily  with  the  mutes,  as  I,  m,  n,  r. 

But,  besides  these,  there  is  another  classi- 
fication of  the  consonants,  of  great  import- 
ance to  a  just  idea  of  the  natrre  of  the  letters, 
and  that  is,  into  such  as  are  sharp  or  flat, 
and  simple  or  aspirated. 

The  sharp  consonants  are,p,/,  t,s,  k,  c  hard. 

The  flat  consonants  are,  6,  r,  d,  z,  g  hard. 

The  simple  consonants  are  those  which 
have  always  the  sound  of  one  letter  unmixed 
with  others,  as  b,  p,  f,  v,  k,  g  hard,  and  g 
soft,  or  j. 

The  mixed  or  aspirated  consonants  are 
those  which  have  sometimes  a  hiss  or  aspi- 
ration joined  with  them, »  hich  mingles  with 
the  letter,  and  alters  its  sound,  as  t  in  motion, 
d  in  soldier,  s  in  mission,  and  z  in  azure. 

There  is  another  distinction  of  consonants, 
arising  either  from  the  seat  of  their  forma- 
tion, or  front  those  organs  wiiich  are  cliieflj' 
emplojed  in  fonning  them.  The  best  dis- 
tinction of  this  kind  seems  to  be  that  whicti 
divides  them  into  labials,  dentals,  gutturals, 
and  nasals, 

Tlie  labials  are  b,  p,f,  v.  The  dentals  are, 
t,  d,  s,  z,  and  soft  g  or  j.  The  gutturals  are, 
k,  q,  c  hard,  and  g  hard.  The  nasals  are, 
ni,  n,  and  ng. 

These  several  properties  of  the  eonsouants 
may  be  exhibited  at  one  v'ew  in  the  follow- 
ing table,  which  may  be  called

contraetinK  itoell  to  the  root,  a«  if  to  make 
way  for  the  sound,  almost  rests  upon  the 
under  jaw. 

The  Italian  a,  heard  in  fa-lhtr,  clo«rs  the 
month  a  little  more  than  the  German  n; 
anil  by  raising  the  lower  jaw,  wideninK  the 
t<in;rii'e,  and  advancing  it  a  little  nearer  to 
tlie  lips,  renders  its  sound  less  hollow  and 
deep. 

The  slender  a,  or  that  heard  in  ?owe,  is 
formed  in  the  mouth  still  hiRher  than  the 
last ;  and  in  pronovinrinif  if  the  lips,  as  if  to 
ewe  it  a  slender  sound,  dilate  their  aperture 
horizontally;  whilethe  ton§rne,  to  as«ist  this 
narniw  emission  of  breath,  widens  itself  to 
the  cheek',  raises  itself  nearer  the  palate, 
and  by  these  means  a  less  hollow  sonnd 
than  cither  of  the  fomner  is  produced. 

The  e  in  e-qual  is  formed  by  dilating  the 
fonsue  a  little  more,  and  advancing  it  nearer 
to  the  palate  and  the  lips,  which  produces 
the  slenderest  vowel  in  the  langiinpe ;  lor  the 
tonsue  is,  in  the  formation  of  this  letter,  as 
close  t  o  t  he  palate  as  possible,  without  touch- 
ing it ;  as  the  momint  the  tongue  touches 
the  palate,  the  squeezed  sound  of  rr  in  thee 
and  meet  is  formed,  which,  by  its  description, 
mu?tpartakeof  the  sound  of  the  con  sonant  y. 

The  i  in  i-rtol  is  formed  by  iiiiitinK  tiie 
sound  of  the  Italian  a  mfn-th'er  and  the  ein 
equal,  and  pronouncing  them  as  closely  to- 
gether as  possible. 

Tlic  o  in  o-pen  is  formed  by  nearly  the  same 
position  of  the  organs  as  the  n  in  wa-fer;  but 
tlie  tongue  is  advanced  a  little  more  into  the 
middle  of  the  mouth,  the  lips  are  protruded, 
and  form  a  round  aperture  like  the  form  of 
the  letter,  and  the  voice  is  not  so  deep  in  the 
mouth  as  when  a  is  formed,  but  advances  to 
the  middle  or  hollow  of  the  mouth. 

The  «  in  u-vife  is  formed  by  uniting  the 
squeezed  sound  ee  to  a  simple  vowel  sound, 
be&rd  in  woo  and  coo;  tlie  00  in  these  woi-ds 


is  fonred  by  protruding  the  lips  a  little  more 
than  in  o,  forming  a  smaller  aperture?  with 
them.  and.  instead  of  sT^elling  the  voice  in

a  in  fa-ther  opens  the  mouth  still  more 
without  contracting  the  comers.  The  Ger- 
man n,  henrd  in  wall,  not  only  opens  the 
n.outb  wider  than  theformern,  out  contracts 
tbe  comers  of  the  mouth  so  as  to  make  the 
aperture  approach  nearer  to  a  circle,  while 
the  n  opens  tbe  mouth  still  more,  and  con- 
tracts tbe  comers  so  as  to  make  it  the  o»

If  tiicrefore  the  other  vowels  were,  like  n,  to 
take  their  forms  from  the  aperture  of  the 
mouth  in  pronouncing  them,  the  German 
a  ougbt  neceB«arily  to  have  a  figure  as  nearly 
approaching  the  0  in  form  as  it  does  in  sound  ; 
that  is,  it  ought  to  have  that  elliptical  lorm 
which  approaches  nearest  to  tbe  cir(]e;  as 
the  a  of  ihe  Italianj.nnd  that  of  the  English

INTRODUCTION. 


Into,  and  then,  by  describing  one,  we  shall 
nearly  describe  its  fellow  ;  by  which  means 
the  labour  will  be  lessened,  and  the  nature  of 
the  consonants  better  perceived.  The  con- 
vonants  that  fall  into  pairs  arc  the  following : 

p    f     t     8     sh     th     k     ch — chair. 

b    V     d    z     zh    dh    g      j—jait. 

Holder,  who  wrote  the  most  elaborately 
•and  philosophically  upon  this  subject,  tills 
us,  in  his  Elements  of  Speech,  tliatwhen  we 
Dnly  whisper  we  cannot  distinguish  the  first 
rank  of  tliese  letters  from  the  second.  It  is 
certain  the  difference  betwern  them  is  very 
nice;  the  upjjer  letters  seeming  to  have  only 
a  smarter,  brisker,  appulse  of  the  organs  than 
the  lower;  which  may  not  improperly  be 
distinguished  by  sharp  and  flat.  The  most 
marking  distinction  between  them  will  be 
found  to  be  a  sort  of  Kuttural  murmur,  which 
precedes  the  latter  letters  when  we  wish  to 
pronounce  them  forcibly,  but  not  the  former. 
Thus  if  we  close  the  lips,  and  put  the  finders 
on  them  to  keep  them  shut,  and  strive  to 
pnmounce  the  p,  no  sound  at  all  will  be 
heard ;  but  in  Btriving  to  pronounce  the  6 
we  shall  find  a  murmuring  sound  from  the 
throat,  which  seems  the  commencement  of 
tu^  letter;  and  if  we  do  but  stop  the  breath 
by  the  appulse  of  the  organs,  in  order  to  pro- 
nounce with  greater  force,  the  same  may  be 
observed  of  the  rest  of  the  letters. 

This  difference  Lu  the  formation  of  these 
consonants  may  be  more  distinctly  perceived 
in  thesandzthan  inany  otherof  the  letters; 
the  former  is  sounded  by  the  simple  issue  of 
the  breath  between  the  teeth,  without  any 
vibration  of  it  in  tlie  throat,  and  may  be  called 
A  hissing  sound;  while  the  latter  cannot  be 
formed  without  generating  a  sound  in  the 
throat,  which  may  be  called  a  vocal  sound. 
The  upper  rank  of  letters,  therefore,  may  be 
called  breathing  consonants ;  and  the  lower 
vocal  ones. 

These  observations  premised,  we  may  pro- 
ceed to  describe  the  organic  formation  of 
each  letter. 

P  and  B  are  formed  by  closing  the  lips  till 
t  he  breath  is  collected,  and  then  letting  it 
issue  by  forming  the  vowel  e. 

F  and  V  are  formed  by  pressing  the  upper 
teeth  upon  the  under  lip,  and  sounding  the 
vowel  eoefore  the  former  and  after  the  latter 
of  these  letters. 

T  and  D  are  formed  by  pressing  the  tip  of 
the  tongue  to  the  gums  of  the  upper  teeth, 
and  then  separating  them,  by  pronouncing 
the  vowel  e. 

S  and  Z  are  formed  by  placing  the  tongue 
in  the  same  position  as  in  T  and  D,  but  not 
so  close  to  the  gums  as  to  stop  the  breath,  a 
space  is  left  between  the  tongue  and  the 
palate  for  the  breath  to  issue,  which  forms 
the  hissing  and  buzzing  sound  of  these 
letters. 

SH  heard  in  mission,  and  zh  in  evasion,  are 
formed  in  the  same  seat  of  sound  as  s  and  z; 
but  in  the  former  the  tongue  is  drawn  a  little 
inwards,  and  at  a  somewhat  greater  distance 
from  the  palate,  which  occasions  a  fuller 
egnsion  of  breath  from  the  hollow  of  the 
mouth  than  in  the  latter,  which  are  formed 
nearer  to  the  teeth. 

TH  in  think,  and  the  same  letters  in  that, 
are  formed  by  protruding  the  tongue  between 


the  fore  teeth,  pressing  it  against  the  uppef    j 
te«th,  and  at  the  same  time  endeavouring  tc     ■ 
sound  «  orr;  the  former  letter  to  sound  thin 
think,  and  the  latter  to  sound  th  in  that. 

K  and  G  hard  are  formed  by  pressing  the 
middle  of  the  tongue  to  the  roof  of  the  mouth 
near  the  throat,  and  separating  them  a  little 
smartly  to  form  the  first,  and  more  gently  to 
form  the  last,  of  these  letters. 

CH  in  chair,  and  J  in  jail,  are  formed  by 
pressing  t  to  sh,  and  d  to  zh. 

M  is  formed  by  closing  the  lips,  as  in  P  and 
B,  and  letting  the  voice  issue  by  the  nose. 

A"  is  formed  by  resting  the  tongue  in  the 
same  position  as  in  T  or  D,  and  breathing 
through  the  nose,  with  the  mouth  open. 

L  is  formed  by  nearly  the  same  position  of 
the  organs  as  t  and  d,  but  more  with  the  tip 
of  the  tongue,  which  is  brought  a  little  for- 
warder to  the  teeth,  while  the  breath  issues 
from  the  mouth. 

R  is  formed  by  placing  the  tongue  nearly 
in  the  position  of^  t,  b\it  at  such  a  distance 
from  the  palate  as  suffers  it  to  jar  against  it 
when  the  breath  is  propelled  from  the  throat 
to  the  mouth. 

iVG  in  ring,  sinp,  &c.  is  formed  in  the  same 
seat  of  sound  as  hard  g,  but  while  the  middle 
of  the  tongue  presses  the  roof  of  the  mouth, 
as  in  G,  the  voice  passes  principally  through 
the  nose,  as  in  N. 

Y  consonant  is  formed  by  placing  the  or- 
gans in  the  position  of*,  ancl  squeezing  the 
tongue  against  the  roof  of  the  mouth,  which 
produces  ee,  which  is  equivalent  to  initial  y. 

}Y  consonant  is  formed  by  j)lacing  the 
organs  in  the  position  of  oo,  described  under 
ti,  and  closing  the  lips  a  little  more,  in  order 
to  propel  the  breath  upon  the  succeeding 
vowel  which  it  articulates. 

In  this  sketch  of  the  formation  and  distri- 
bution  of  the  consonants,  it  is  curious  to 
observe  on  how  few  radical  principles  the 
almost  infinite  variety  of  combination  in  lan- 
guage depends.  It  is  with  some  degree  of 
wonder  we  perceive  that  the  slightest  aspi- 
ration, the  almost  insensible  inflexion  of 
nearly  similar  sounds,  often  generate  the 
most  different  and  opposite  meanings.  In 
this  view  of  nature,  as  in  every  other,  we  find 
uniformity  and  variety  very  conspicuous. 
The  single  fiat,  at  first  impressed  on  the 
chaos,  seems  to  operate  on  languages ;  wbicn, 
from  the  simplicity  and  paucity  of  their 
principles,  and  the  extent  and  power  of  their 
combinations,  prove  the  goodness,  wisdom, 
and  omnipotence  of  their  origin. 

This  analogical  association  of  sounds  is  not 
only  curious,  but  useful :  it  gives  us  a  com- 
prehensive view  of  the  powers  of  the  letters, 
and,  from  the  small  number  that  are  radically 
different,  enables  us  to  see  the  rules  on  which 
their  varieties  depend:  it  discovers  to  us  the 
genius  and  propensities  of  several  languages 
and  dialects,  and,  when  authority  is  silent, 
enables  us  to  decide  agreeably  to  analogy. 

Of  the  Qunntitif  and  Qualify  of  the  VoieeU. 

The  first  distinction  of  sound  that  seems 
to  obtrude  itself  upon  us  when  we  utter  the 
vowels  is  a  long  and  short  sound,  according 
to  the  greater  or  less  duration  of  time  taken 
up  in  pronouncing  them.  This  distinction  is 
so  obvious  as  to  have  been  adopted  in  all

tiic  short  vowels  cannot  be  said  to  be  more

to  confound  Ion?  and  open,   and  clo«e  and 
shut,  when  wc  speak  of  thr  lunntity  and 
qualify  of  the  vowels.    The  truth  of  it  is,  all 
vowels  either  terminate  a  syllable  or  are 
nnited  with  a  consonant.     In  the  first  ca»e, 
if  the  accent  he  on  the  "yllahle,  the  vowel  is  ' 
long,  though  it  may  r.ot  be  open:    in  the  |

hy  a  con«oTiant,  except  that  consonant  he  r, 
whether  the  accent  he  on  the  syllable  or  not, 
the  vowel  has  its  short  snntid,  which,  com- 
pared with  its  lon^  one,  may  he  called  shnt: 
nut  as  no  vowel  can  be  said  to  be  shut  that 
is  not  joined  to  a  consonant,  all  vowels  that 
end  syllables  may  be  said  to  he  open,  whe- 
ther the  accent  he  on  them  or  not.

and  short  sounds  of  the  respective  vowels  to

of  ike  LeiferM. 

It  may  be  first  obserred,  that  the  crcrtion 
of  the  organs  of  speech  neceor-ary  to  produce 
the  accent,  or  stre's,  has  an  obvious  tendency 
to  preserve  the  Ipfters  in  their  pure  and  uni- 
form Sfiund,  while  the  relaxation  or  fcrble- 
npss  which  succeeds  the  accent  as  naturally 
suffers  the  letters  to  slide  into  a  somewhat 
different  sound,  a  little  easier  to  the  organs 
of  pronunoalifin.  Thus  the  first  a  in  cahhnpe 
is  pronounced  di'tir.ctly  with  the  true  sound 
of  thst  letter,  while  thexeeondn  goes  into  an 
oh«cure  sound  bordering  on  the  »  short,  the 
slenderest  of  all  sound*  ;  so  that  enhDnge  and 
rj/ta/jehave  the  ain  the  last  syllable  scarcely 
distinsruishahle  from  the  e  and  i  in  the  last 
syllable  of  rolUge  and  vestige. 

In  the  same  manner,  the  a,  e,  i,  o,  and  y, 
coining  before  r  in  a  final  unaccented  syl- 
lable, go  into  an  obscure  sound  so  nearly 
approaching  to  the  short  u,  that  if  the  accent 
were  carefully  kept  upon  the  first  syllables 
of  linr.  Her,  elixir,  mayor,  martyr,  &c.  thoe 
words,  without  any  perccntible  change  in 
the  sound  of  their  last  syllables,  might  all 
be  ■written  and  pronounced  liur,  liur,  elixur, 
mnyur,  martvr,  &c. 

The  consonants  aUo  are  no  less  altered  in 
their  sound  by  the  position  of  the  accent  than 
the  vowels.  The  «  and  #  in  the  composition 
of  X,  when  the  accent  is  on  them,  in  ererrine, 
execute,  He.  preserve  theirstrong  pure  sound ; 
but  when  the  accent  is.  on  ihp  second  syl-

INTRODUCTION. 


sliae  into  the  duller  and  weaker  sounds  of  g 
aud  2,  which  are  easier  to  the  organs  of  pro- 
nunciation. Hence  not  only  the  soft  c  and 
the  s  go  into  sh,  but  even  the  t  before  a  diph- 
thong slides  into  the  same  letters  when  the 
stress  is  on  the  preceding  syllable.  Thus  in 
Mciety  and  satiety  the  c  and  t  preserve  their 
pure  sound,  because  the  syllaoles  ci  and  ti 
have  the  accent  on  them;  but  m  social  and 
satiate  these  syllables  come  alter  the  stress, 
and,  from  thefeebleners  of  their  situation, 
naturally  fall  into  tiie  shorter  and  easier 
sound,  as  if  wiitten  soshial  and  sashiate. 

0/  the  Nature  of  Accent. 

Accent,  in  its  very  nature,  implies  a  com- 
parison with  other  syllables  less  forcible; 
hence  we  may  conclude  that  monosyllables, 
proi)erly  speaking,  have  no  accent;  when 
t  hey  are  com  bined  with  other  monosyllables, 
and  form  a  phrase,  the  stress  which  is  laid 
upon  one,  in  preference  to  others,  is  called 
emphasis.  As  emphasis  evidently  points  out 
the  most  significant  word  in  a  sentence,  so, 
where  other  reasons  do  not  forbid,  the  accent 
always  dwells  with  greatest  force  on  that 
part  of  the  word  which,  from  its  importance, 
the  hearer  has  always  the  greatest  occasion 
to  observe;  and  this  is  necessarily  the  root 
or  body  of  the  word.  But  as  harmony  of 
termination  frequently  attracts  the  accent 
from  the  root  to  the  branches  of  %\ords,  so 
the  first  and  most  natural  law  of  accentua- 
tion seems  to  operate  les.;  in  fixing  the  stress 
than  any  of  the  other.  Our  own  Saxon  ter- 
minations, indeed,  with  perfect  uniformity, 
leave  the  principal  part  of  the  word  in  quiet 
possession  of  what  seems  its  lawful  property ; 
but  Latin  and  Greek  tenninations,  of  which 
our  language  is  full,  assume  a  right  of  pre- 
serving their  original  accent,  and  subjecting 
many  of  the  words  they  bestow  upon  us  to 
their  own  classical  laws. 

Accent,  therefore,  seems  to  be  regulated, 
in  a  great  measure,  by  etymology.  In  words 
from  the  Saxon  the  accent  is  generally  on 
the  root ;  in  words  from  tlie  learned  lan- 
guages it  is  generally  on  the  termination; 
and  if  to  these  we  add  the  different  accent 
we  lay  on  some  words,  to  distinguish  them 
from  others,  we  seem  to  have  the  three  j^reat 
principles  of  accentuation ;  namely,  the  ra- 
dical, the  terminational,  and  the  distinctive. 

Radical  AccdU. — As  our  language  borrows 
so  largely  from  the  learned  languages,  it  is 
not  wonderful  that  its  pronunciation  should 
be  in  some  measure  influenced  by  them.  The 
rule  for  placing  the  Greek  accent  was,  in- 
deed, essentially  different  from  that  of  the 
Latin ;  but  words  from  the  Greek,  coming  to 
us  through  the  Latin,  are  often  so  much 
latinized  as  to  lose  their  original  accent,  and 
to  fall  into  that  of  the  Latin;  and  it  is  the 
Latin  accent  which  we  must  chiefly  regard 
as  that  wliich  influences  our  own. 

The  first  general  rule  that  may  be  laid 
down  is,  that  when  words  come  to  us  whole 
from  the  Greek  or  Latin,  th«  same  accent 
ought  to  be  preserved  as  in  the  original :  thus 
horizon,  sonorous,  decorum,  dictator,  gladiator, 
mediator,  delator,  spectator,  adulator,  &c.  pre- 
serve the  penultimate  accent  of  the  original ; 
and  yet  the  antepenultimate  tendency  of  our 
language  has  placed  the  accent  ou  the  first 


syllable  of  orator,  senator,  auditor,  cicatrta, 
plethora,  &c.  in  opposition  to  the  Latin  pro- 
nunciation of  these  words,  and  would  have 
infallibly  done  the  same  by  abdomen,  bitumen, 
and  acumen,  if  the  learned  had  not  stepped 
in,  to  rescue  these  classical  words  from  the 
invasion  of  the  Gothic  accent,  and  to  pre- 
serve the  stress  inviolably  on  the  second 
syllable;  nor  has  even  the  interposition  of 
two  consonants  been  always  able  to  keep  the 
accent  from  mounting  up  to  the  antepenul- 
timate syllable,  as  we  may  see  in  minister, 
sinister,  character,  &c. :  and  this  may  be  said 
to  be  the  favourite  accent  of  our  language. 

But,  notwithstanding  this  prevalence  of 
the  antepenultimate  accent,  the  general  rule 
still  holds  good;  and  more  particularly  in 
words  a  little  removed  from  common  usage, 
such  as  terms  in  the  arts  and  sciences:  these 
are  generally  of  Greek  original ;  but,  coming 
to  us  through  the  Latin,  most  commonly 
contract  the  Latin  accent  when  adopted  into 
our  language. 

Terminational  Accent. — To  form  an  idea  of 
the  influence  of  termination  upon  accent,  it 
will  be  sufBcient  to  observe,  that  words  which 
have  ei,  ia,  ie.  io,  eou,  in  their  termination, 
always  have  the  accent  on  the  preceding  syl- 
lable; thus  atheist,  alien,  regalia,  ambrosia, 
(Jtc,  the  numerous  terminations  in  ion,  ian, 
&.C.,  as  gradation,  promotion,  confusion,  logi- 
cian, physician,  &c.,  those  in  ious,  as  har- 
monious, abstemious,  &c.,  those  in  eous,  as 
outrageous,  advantageoxis,  &c.  These  may 
not  improperly  be  styled  semi-consonant 
diphthongs. 

The  only  exceptions  to  this  rule  are  one 
word  in  iac,  as  elegiac,  which  has  the  accent 
on  the  i,  and  the  following  words  in  iacal,  as 
prosodiacal,  cardiacal,  heliacal,  genethliacal, 
maniacal,  demoniacal,  ammoniacal,  thcriacal, 
paradisiacal,  aphrodisiacal,  and  hypochondri- 
acal; all  which  have  the  acceut  on  the  ante- 
penultimate J,  and  that  long  and  open,  as  in 
idle,  title.  Sic. 

Nothing  can  be  more  uniform  than  the 
position  of  the  accent  in  words  of  these  ter- 
minations; and,  with  very  few  exceptions, 
the  quantity  of  the  accented  vowel  is  as  re- 
gular as  the  accent;  for  when  these  termina- 
tions are  preceded  by  a  single  consonant, 
every  accented  vowel  is  long,  except  i,  which 
in  this  situation,  is  as  utiitormly  short. 

Enctitical  Accent. — I  have  ventured  to  give 
the  name  of  enclitical  to  the  acceut  of  certain 
words,  whose  terminations  are  formed  of 
such  words  as  seem  to  lose  their  own  accent, 
and  throw  it  back  on  the  last  syllable  of  the 
word  with  which  they  coalesce,  such  as  the- 
ology, orthography,  &c.  The  readiness  with 
which  these  words  take  the  antepenultimate 
accent,  the  agreeable  flow  of  sound  to  the 
ear,  and  the  unity  it  preserves  in  the  sense, 
are  sufficient  proofs  of  the  propriety  of  plac- 
ing the  accent  on  this  syllable,  if  custom 
were  ambiguous. 

Secondary  Accent. — Hitherto  vre  have  con- 
sidered that  accent  only  which  necessarily 
distinguishes  one  syllable  in  a  word  from  the 
rest ;  and  which,  with  very  little  diversity,  ia 
adopted  by  all  who  speak  the  English  lan- 
guage. 

The  secondary  accent  is  that  stress  we  may    ^ 
occasionally  place  upon  another  syllable,  be- 
sides that  which  has  the  pruicipal  accent,  in

order  to  prononnce  CTcry  part  of  the  word 
more  distinctly,  forcibly,  and  harmoniously. 
Thus  thin  accent  may  be  placed  on  the 
first  syllable  of  conversation,  commendation, 

Quantify.— In  treatine  this  part  of  pronun- 
ciation, it  will  not  be  necessary  to  enter  into 
the  nature  of  that  quantity  which  constitutes 
poetry;  the  quantity  here  considered  will  be 
that  which  lelatcs  to  words  taken  sinifly  ; 
and  this  is  notbine  more  than  the  length  or 
sliortness  of  the  vowel'',  either  as  they  stand 
alone,  or  as  they  are  diflfercntlf  combined 
with  vowels  or  consonants. 

Syllabication. — Dividing  words  into  sylla- 
bles is  a  very  different  operation,  according 
to  the  different  ends  proposed  by  it.  The 
object  of  syllabication  mav  be,  either  to  en- 
able children  to  discover  the  sound  of  words 
they  are  unacquainted  with,  or  to  show  the 
etymolo^-  of  a  word,  or  to  exhibit  the  exact 
pronunciation  of  it. 

Wbenacliild  has  made  certain  advances  in 
reading,  but  is  ipnorant  of  the  sound  of  many 
of  the  longer  words,  it  may  not  be  improper 
to  lay  down  the  common  general  rule  to  him, 
that  a  consonant  between  two  vowels  must 
go  to  the  latter;  and  that  two  consonants 
coming  together  must  be  divided.  Farther 
than  this  it  would  be  absurd  to  go  with  a 
child  ;  for  telling  him  that  compounds  must 
be  divided  into  their  simples,  and  that  such 
consonamts  as  may  begin  a  word  may  begin 
a  syllable,  requires  a  jirevious  knowledge  of 
words,  which  children  cannot  be  supposed  to 
have:  and  which,  if  they  have,  makes  the 
division  of  words  into  syliables  unnecessary. 


Children,  therefore,  may  be  very  usefully 
taught  the  general  rule  above  mentioned,  as. 
in  many  cases,  it  will  lead  them  to  the  exact 
sound  of  the  word,  as  in  fro-ri-ded ;  and  in 
others  it  will  enable  them  to  give  a  gooil 
guess  at  it,  as  in  de-li-cnte;  and  this  is  all 
that  can  be  expected;  for  when  we  are  to 
form  an  unknown  compound  sound  out  of 
several  known  simple  sounds  (which  is  the 
case  with  children,  when  we  wish  them  to 
find  out  the  sound  of  a  word  by  sjielling  it ), 
this,  I  say,  is  the  only  method  that  can  be 
taken. 

But  an  etymological  division  of  words  is  a 
different  operation:  it  is  the  division  of  a 
person  acquainted  with  the  whole  word,  and 
who  wishes  to  convey,  by  this  division,  a 
knowledge  of  its  constituent  parts,  as  ortho- 
graphy, theo-lopy,  &c. 

In  the  same  manner,  a  person  who  is  pre- 
acquainred  with  the  whole  compound  sound 
of  a  word,  and  wants  to  convey  the  sound  of 
each  part  to  one  unacquainted  with  it,  must 
divide  it  into  such  partial  sounds  as,  when 
put  together  again,  will  exactly  form  the 
whole,  as  or-thng-ra-phy,  ihe-olo-gy,  &c. 
This  is  the  method  adopted  by  those  wluj 
would  convey  the  whole  sound,  by  giving 
distinctly  every  part;  and,  when  this  is  the 
object  of  syllabication,  Dr.  I/owth's  rule  is 
certainly  to  be  followed.  "The  best  and 
easiest  rule,"  says  the  learned  bishop,  "  for 
dividing  the  syllables  in  spelling,  is  to  divide 
them  as  they  are  naturally  divided  in  a  right 
pronunciation,  without  regard  to  the  deriva- 
tion of  words,  or  the  possible  combination  of 
consonants  at  the  beginning  of  a  syllable." 


RULES  TO   BE  OBSERVED   BY   NATIVES   OF   IRELAND, 

IN    ORDER  TO   OBTAIN    A    JtTST    PRONDNCIATION    OF    ENGLISH. 


As  Mr.  Sheridan  was  a  native  of  Ireland, 
and  had  the  best  opportunities  of  under- 
standing those  peculiarities  ol  pronunciation 
which  obtain  there,  I  shall  extract  his  obser- 
vations on  that  subject  as  the  best  general 
direction,  and  add  a  few  of  my  own,  by  way 
of  supplement,  which  I  hopevi'ill  render  this 
article  of  instruction  still  more  complete. 

The  reader  will  be  pleased  to  take  notice, 
that  as  I  have  made  a  different  arrangement 
of  the  vowels,  and  adopted  a  notation  dif- 
ferent from  that  of  Mr.  Sheridan,  I  am 
obliged  to  make  use  of  different  figures  to 
mark  the  vowels,  but  still  such  as  perfectly 
correspond  to  his. 

"The  chief  mistakes  made  by  the  Irish  in 
pronouncing  English,  lie  for  the  most  part 
in  the  sounds  of  the  two  first  vowels,  a  and 
e:  the  former  being  generally  sounded  i  by 
the  Irish,  as  in  the  word  bar,  in  most  words 
where  it  is  pronounced  i,  as  in  diy,  hy  the 
English,  Thus  the  Irish  say,  patron,  mStron, 
the  vowel  I  having  the  same  sound  as  in  the 
word  father;  while  the  English  pronounce 
them  as  if  written  paytron,  maylron.  The  fol- 
lowing rule  strictly  attended  to,  will  rectify 
this  mistake  through  the  whole  language. 


"When  the  vowel  a  finishes  a  syllable,  and 
has  the  accent  on  it,  it  is  invariably  pro- 
nounced i,  as  in  dav,  by  the  English.  To 
this  rule  there  are  but  three  exceptions  in 
the  whole  language,  to  be  found  in  the 
words  fsther,  papi,  mammS.  The  Irish  may 
think  also  the  word  rnthfr  an  exception,  as 
well  A9.  father  :  and  so  it  would  appear  to  be 
in  their  manner  of  pronouncing  it,  rJther, 
laying  the  accent  on  the  vowel  a  ;  but  in 
the  English  pronunciation,  the  consonant 
th  is  taken  into  the  first  syllable,  as  rath'-er, 
which  makes  the  difference. 

"Whenever  a  consonant  follows  the  vowel 
a  in  the  same  syllable,  and  the  accent  is  on 
the  consonant,  the  vowel  a  has  always  iis 
fourth  sound,  as  hat,  min  ;  as  also  the  same 
sound  lengthened  when  it  precedesthe  letter 
r,  as  far,  bar.  though  the  accent  be  on  tlie 
vowel ;  as  likewise  when  it  precedes  Im,  as 
balm,  psilm.  The  Irish,  ignorant  of  this 
latter  exception,  pronounce  all  words  of 
that  structure  as  if  they  were  WTitten  baivm, 
pf^nwm,  qvawm,  cawn,kQ.  In  the  third  sound 
of  (1,  marked  by  different  combinations  of 
vowels  or  consonants,  such  as  nw,  in  Paul, 
air,  in  law;  all,\n  call;  aid,  iu  bald,  nlk   io 


talk,  &c;  the  Irish  make  no  mistake,  except 
iu  that  of  Im,  as  before  mentioned. 

"The  second  vowel,  e,  is  for  the  most 
part  sounded  ee  by  the  En^'lish,  when  the 
accent  is  ujion  it ;  whilst  the  Irish  in  most 
words  Rive  it  the  sound  of  slender  k,  as  in 
hate.  The  sound  of  e  [ee]  is  marlied  by  dif- 
ferent combinations  of  vowels,  such  as  ea, 
ei,  e  final  mute,  ee,  and  je.  In  the  two  last 
combinations  of  ee  and  ie,  the  Irish  never 
mistake;  such  as  in  meet,  seem,  field,  believe, 
&c.;  but  in  all  the  others,  they  almost  uni- 
versally chanse  the  sound  of  u  into  a.  Thus, 
ill  the  combination  ea,  tliey  pronounce  the 
words  tea,  sea,  please,  as  if  tbey  were  spelled 
tai/,  say,  plays;  instead  of  tee,  see,  pleese. 
Tlie  English  constantly  give  this  sound  to 
ea  Virlienever  the  accent  is  on  the  vowel  e, 
except  in  the  following  words ;  great,  a.  pear, 
a  bear,  to  bear,  to  forbear,  to  swear,  to  tear, 
to  wear.  In  all  which  the  e  has  the  sound 
of  4  in  bite.  For  want  of  knowing  these 
exceptions,  the  gentlemen  of  Ireland,  after 
some  time  of  residence  in  London,  are  apt 
to  fall  into  the  general  rule,  and  pronounce 
these  words  as  if  spelt  greet,  beer,  sweer,  Ike. 

" Ei  is  also  sounded  ee  by  the  English,  and 
as  i  by  the  Irish ;  thus,  the  words  iXcceit, 
rcceii'e,are  pronounced  by  them  as  if  written 
desafe,  resale.  Ei  is  always  sounded  ee,  ex- 
cept when  a  g  follows  it,  as  in  the  words 
rfign,  feign,  deign,  &c.,  as  also  in  tlie  word 
rein  (of  a  bridle),  rein-deer,  vein,  drein,  veil, 
heir,  which  are  pronounced  like  rain,  vain, 
ilrain,  vail,  air. 

"  The  final  mute  e  makes  the  precedinsf  e 
in  the  same  syllable,  when  accented,  have 
the  sound  of  ee,  as  in  the  words  supreme, 
sincere,  replete.  Tbis  rule  is  almost  uni- 
versally broken  through  by  the  Irish,  who 
pronounce  all  such  words  as  if  written  su- 
preme, sinsare,  replite,  &c.  There  are  but 
two  exceptions  to  this  rule  in  the  English 
pronunciation,  which  are  the  words  there, 
where. 

"  In  the  way  of  marking  this  sound,  by  a 
double  e,  as  thus  [ee],  as  the  Irish  never 
make  any  mistakes,  the  best  metliod  for  all 
who  want  to  acquire  the  right  pronuncia- 
tion of  these  several  combinations  is,  to 
suppose  that  ea,  ei,  and  e,  attended  by  a  final 
mute  e,  are  all  spelled  with  a  double  e. 

"  Ey  is  always  sounded  like  a  by  the  En- 
glish, when  the  accent  is  upon  it;  as  in  the 
words  prey,  convey,  pronounced  2^foy,  convay. 
To  this  there  are  but  two  exceptions,  in  the 
words  key  and  ley,  sounded  kee,  lee.  The 
Irish,  in  attempting  to  pronounce  like  the 
English,  often  give  the  same  sound  to  ey,  as 
usually  belongs  to  ei;  thus,  for  prey,  convey, 
they  say,  pree,  convee. 

"A  strict  observation  of  these  few  rules, 
with  a  due  attention  to  the  very  few  excep- 
tions enumerated  above,  will  enable  the  well 
educated  natives  of  Ireland  to  pronounce 
their  words  exactly  in  the  same  way  as  the 
more  polished  part  of  the  inhabitants  of 
England  do,  so  far  as  the  vowels  are  con- 
cerned. The  diphthongs  they  commit  no 
fault  in,  except  in  the  sound  of  1,  which  has 
been  already  taken  notice  of  in  the  Gram- 
mar-,* where,  likewise,  the  only  difference

out ;  the  Irish  pronouncing  it  much  in  the 
same  manner  as  the  French." 

t  "  The  letter  d  has  always  the  same 
sound  by  those  who  pronoimce  English 
well ;  but  the  provincials,  particularly  the 
Irish,  Scotch,  and  Welsh,  in  many  words 
thicken  the  sound  by  a  mixture  of  breath. 
Thus,  though  they  sound  the  d  right  in  the 
positive  loud  and  broad,  in  the  comparative 
degree  they  thicken  it  by  an  aspiration, 
and  sound  it  as  if  it  were  written  loudher, 
broadher.  This  vicious  pronunciation  is  pro- 
duced by  pushing  the  tongue  forward  so  as 
to  touch  the  teeth  in  fonning  that  sound: 
and  the  way  to  cure  it  is  easy  ;  for  as  they 
can  pronounce  the  d  properly  in  the  word 
loud,  let  them  rest  a  little  upon  that  syllable, 
keeping  the  tongue  in  the  position  of  form- 
ing d,  and  then  let  them  separate  it  from  the 
upper  gum  without  pushing  it  forward,  and 
tlie  sound  der  will  be  produced  of  course: 
for  the  organ  being  left  in  the  position  of 
sounding  d  at  the  end  of  the  syllable  loud,  is 
necessarily  in  the  position  of  forming  the 
same  d  in  uttering  the  last  syllable,  unless 
it  makes  a  new  movement,  as  in  the  case  of 
protruding  it  so  as  to  touch  the  teeth.  This 
letter  is  sometimes,  though  not  often,  quies- 
cent, as  in  the  words  handkerchief ,  handsome, 
handsel. 

"In  pronouncing  the  letter  t,  the  Irish 
and  other  provincials  thicken  the  sound,  as 
was  before  mentioned  with  regard  to  the  rt; 
for  better,  they  say  betther;  for utter,utther; 
and  so  on  in  all  words  of  that  structure.  This 
faulty  manner  arises  from  the  same  cause 
that  was  mentioned  as  affecting  the  sound 
of  d;  I  mean  the  protruding  of  the  tongue 
so  as  to  touch  tlie  teeth,  and  is  curable  only 
in  the  same  way.

"These,  after  the  closest  attentinn,  are 
all  the  words,  not  included  in  the  rules  be- 
fore laid  down,  that  I  have  been  able  to 
collpct,  in  wliich  the  well-edueated  natives 
of  Ireland  differ  from  those  of  Kngland." 

1  shall  make  no  observations  on  the  ac- 
curacy of  tills  list,  but  desire  my  reader  to 
obvrrve,  that  the  slroiiijpRt  characteristics 
of  the  proniinciation  of  IrelRud  is  the  rough 
jarring  pronunciation  of  the  letter  B,  and 
the  aspiration  or  rough  breathing  before  all 
the  accented  vowels.  (For  the  true  sound  of 
R,  see  the  subjoined  note').    And  for  the 

•  There  is  a  distinction  in  the  sound  of 
this  letter,  scarcely  ever  noticed  by  any  of 
our  wTiters  on  the  "subject,  which  is,  in  my 
opinion,  of  no  small  importance;  and  that 
is,  the  rough  and  smooth  r.  Ben  Jonson,  in 
his  Grammar,  says  it  is  sounded  firm  in  the 
beginning  of  words,  and  more  liquid  in  the 
middle  and  ends,  as  in  rarer,  riper;  and  so 
in  the  Latin.    The  rough  r  is  formed  by  jar- 


rough  breathin-:  or  aspiration  of  the  vowels, 
the  pupil  should  be  told  not  to  brins;  tee 
voice  suddenly  from  the  breast,  but  to  speak, 
as  it  were,  from  the  mouth  only. 

It  may  be  observed  too,  that  thenatives  of 
Ireland  pronounce  rm  at  the  end  of  a  word 
so  distinctly  as  to  form  two  separate  syl- 
lables. Thus  Ktorm  and  farm  seem  sounded 
by  them  as  if  written  "afaio-rum,  fa  rum; 
while  the  English  sound  the  r  so  soft  and 
so  close  to  the  to,  that  it  seems  pronounced 
nearly  as  if  written  stairm.faam. 

Nearly  the  same  observations  are  appli- 
cable to  Im.  ^\■ben  these  letters  end  a  word, 
they  are,  in  Ireland,  pronounced  at  such  a 
distance,  that  helm  and  realm  sound  as  if 
written  hel  urn  and  rel-um;  but  in  England 
the  /  and  m  are  pronounced  as  close  as  pos- 
sible, and  so  as  to  form  but  one  syllable.  To 
remedy  this,  it  will  be  necessary  forthe  pupil 
to  make  a  collection  of  words  terminating 
with  these  consonants,  and  to  practise  them 
over  till  a  true  pronunciation  is  acquired. 

ring  the  tip  of  the  tongue  against  the  roof  of 
the  mouth  near  the  lore  teeth:  the  smooth  r 
I  is  e  vibration  of  the  lower  part  of  the  tongue 
near  the  root,  against  the  inward  region  of 
the  palat«,  near  the  entrance  of  the  throat. 
This  latter  r  is  that  which  marks  the  pro- 
nunciation of  England,  and  the  former  that 
of  Ireland.  In  England,  and  particularly  in 
London,  the  r  in  lard,  hard,  card,  regard,  fie, 
is  prononnced  so  much  in  the  throat  as  to 
be  little  more  than  the  middle  or  Italian  a, 
lengthened  into  Itmd,  band,  caad,  rer/aad; 
while  in  Ireland  the  r,  in  these  words,  is 
pronounced  with  so  strong  a  jar  of  the 
tongue  against  the  tore  part  of  the  palate, 
and  accompanied  with  such  an  aspiration, 
or  strong  breathing,  at  the  beginning  of 
the  letter,  as  to  produce  that  harshness 
we  call  the  Irish  accent.  But  if  this  letter 
is  too  forcibly  pronounced  in  Ireland,  it  is 
often  too  feebly  sounded  in  England,  and 
particularly  in  London,  where  it  is  some- 
times entirely  sunk ;  and  it  may,  perhaps, 
be  worthy  of  observation,  that,  provided  we 
avoid  a  too  forcible  pronunciation  of  the  r, 
when  it  ends  a  word,  or  is  followed  by  a  eon- 
sonant  in  the  same  syllable,  we  may  give  as 
much  force  as  we  please  to  this  letter,  at  the 
beginning  of  a  word,  without  producing  any 
harshness  to  the  ear:  thus, Rome,  river,  raae, 
may  have  the  r  as  forcible  as  in  Ireland ; 
hut  bar,  bard,  card,  hard,  &c.,  must  have  it 
nearly  as  in  London. 


RULES   TO  BE   OBSERVED   BY   NATIVES   OF  SCOTLAND, 

FOR  ATTAINING   A   JUST    PRONUNCIATION   OF    ENGLISH. 


That  pronunciation  which  distinguishes 
the  inhabitants  of  Scotland  is  of  a  very 
different  kind  from  that  of  Ireland,  and  may 
be  divided  into  the  quantity,  qnalitv,  anil 
accentuation  of  the  vowels.  With  respect 
to  quantity,  it  may  he  ohsoncd,  that  the 
Scotch  pronounce  almost  all  their  accented 


vowels  long.  Thus,  if  I  mistake  not,  they 
would  pronounce  habit,  hay-bit;  tepid,  tee- 
pid;  sinner,  see-ner ;  conscious,  cnne-shus ;  and 
subject,  sonb-ject;*  it  is  not  pretended,  how- 

•  That  this  is  the  general  mode  of  pro- 
nouncing these  words  in  Scotland,  is  indis- 
62 


XIV 

ever,  that  every  accented  vowel  is  so  pro- 
nounced, but  that  such  a  pronunciation  is 
very  general,  and  particularly  of  the  i.  This 
vowel  is  short  in  English  pronunciation, 
where  the  other  vowels  are  long;  thus  eva- 
sion, adhesion,  emotion,  confusion,  have  the  a, 
e,  0,  and  u,  long;  and  in  these  instances  the 
Scotch  would  pronounce  them  like  the  En- 
glish ;  but  in  vision,  decision,  &c.,  where  the 
English  pronounce  the  i  short,  the  Scotch 
lengthen  this  letter  by  pronouncing  it  like 
ee,  as  if  the  words  were  written  vee-sion,  de- 
cee-sion,  &c. :  and  this  peculiarity  is  universal. 
The  best  way,  therefore,  to  correct  this,  will 
be  to  make  a  collection  of  the  most  usual 
words  which  have  the  vowel  short,  and  to 
pronounce  them  daily  till  a  habit  is  formed. 
With  respect  to  the  quality  of  the  vowels, 
it  may  be  observed  that  the  inhabitants  of 
Scotland  are  apt  to  pronounce  the  a  like  aw, 
where  the  English  give  it  the  slender  sound: 
thus  Satan  is  pronounced  Sawtan,  ani  fatal, 
fawtal.  It  may  be  remarked  too,  that  the 
Scotch  give  this  sound  to  the  a  preceded  by 
w,  according  to  the  general  rule,  without 
attending  to  the  exceptions;  and  thus,  in- 
stead of  making  wax,  waft,  and  twang,  rhyme 
with  tax,  shaft,  and  hang,  they  pronounce 
them  so  as  to  rhyme  with  box,  soft,  anAsong. 
The  short  e  in  bed,  fed,  red,  &c.,  borders  too 
much  upon  the  English  sound  of  a  in  bad, 
lad,  mad,  &C. ;  and  the  short  i  in  bid,  lid,  rid, 
too  much  on  the  English  sound  of  e  in  bed, 
led,  red.  To  correct  this  error,  it  would  be 
useful  to  collect  the  long  and  short  sounds  of 
these  vowels,  and  to  pronounce  the  long  ones 
first,  and  to  shorten  them  by  degrees  till 
they  are  perfectly  short ;  at  the  same  time 
preserving  the  radical  sound  of  the  vowel  in 
both.  Ttius  the  correspondent  long  sounds 
to  the  e  in  bed,  fed,  red,  are  bade,  fade,  rade; 
and  that  of  the  short  i  in  bid,  lid,  rid,  are 
bead,  lead,  reed;   and  the  former  of  these 

putable :  and  it  is  highly  probable  that  the 
Scotch  have  preserved  the  old  English  pro- 
nunciation, from  which  the  English  them- 
selves have  insensibly  departed.  Dr.  Hickes 
observed  long  ago,  that  the  Scots  Saxonised 
in  their  language  much  more  than  the  En- 
glish ;  and  it  is  scarcely  to  be  doubted  that 
a  situation  nearer  to  the  Continent,  and  a 
greater  commercial  intercourse  with  other 
nations,  made  the  English  admit  of  number- 
less changes  which  never  extended  to  Scot- 
land. About  the  reign  of  Queen  Elizabeth, 
when  the  Greek  and  Latin  languages  were 
cultivated,  and  the  pedantry  of  showing  an 
acquaintance  with  them  became  fashionable, 
it  is  not  improbable  that  an  alteration  in  the 
quantity  of  many  words  took  place:  for,  as 
in  Latin,  almost  every  vowel  before  a  single 
consonant  is  short,  so  in  English  almost 
every  vowel  in  the  same  situation  was  sup- 
posed to  be  long,  or  our  ancestors  would 
not  have  doubled  the  consonant  in  the  parti- 
ciples of  verbs,  to  prevent  the  preceding 
vowel  from  lengthening.  But  when  once 
this  affectation  of  Latinity  was  adopted,  it 
is  no  wonder  it  should  extend  beyond  its 
Vriiiciples,  and  shorten  several  vowels  in  En- 
glish, because  they  were  short  in  the  original 
Latin ;  and  in  this  manner,  perhaps,  might 
the  diversity  between  the  quantity  of  the 
English  and  the  Scotch  pronunciation  arise. 


INTRODUCTION. 


classes  vi'ill  naturally  lead  the  ear  to  the 
true  sound  of  the  latter,  the  only  difference 
lying  in  the  quantity.  The  short  o  in  not, 
lodge,  got,  &c.  is  apt  to  slide  into  the  short  u, 
as  if  the  words  were  WTitten  nut,  ludge,  ijnt, 
&c.  To  rectify  this,  it  siiouid  be  remem- 
bered, that  this  0  is  the  short  sound  of  aw, 
and  ought  to  have  the  radical  sound  of  the 
deep  a  in  ball.  Thus  the  radical  sound  cor- 
responding to  the  o  in  not,  cot,  sot,  is  found 
in  naught,  caught,  sought,  &c.;  and  these 
long  sounds,  like  the  former,  should  be  ab- 
breviated into  the  short  ones.  But  what 
will  tend  greatly  to  clear  the  difficulty  will 
be,  to  remember  that  only  those  words  \\  hich 
are  collected  in  the  note  below  *  have  the  o 
sounded  like  short  u  when  the  accent  is  upon 
it ;  and  with  respect  to  u  in  bull, full, pull,  &c., 
it  may  be  observed,  that  the  pronunciation 
peculiar  to  the  English  is  only  found  in  the 
words  enumerated  in  the  note.t 

In  addition  to  what  has  been  said,  it  may 
be  observed,  that  oo  in  food,  mood,  soon,  iiic., 
which  ought  always  to  have  a  long  sound, 
is  generally  shortened  in  Scotland  to  timt 
middle  sound  of  the  u  in  bull:  and  it  must 
be  remembered,  that  wool,  wood,  good,  hood, 
stood,  foot,  are  the  only  words  where  this 
sound  of  00  ought  to  take  place. 

The  accentuation,  both  in  Scotland  and 
Ireland  (if  by  accentuation  we  mean  the 
stress,  and  not  the  kind  of  stress) ,  is  so  much 
the  same  as  that  of  England,  that  I  cannot 
recollect  many  words  in  which  they  ditfer. 
Indeed,  if  it  were  not  so,  the  versification  of 
each  country  would  be  different;  for  as  En- 
glish verse  is  formed  by  accent  or  stress,  if 
this  accent  or  stress  were  upon  different  syl- 
lables in  different  countries,  what  is  verse  in 
England  would  not  be  verse  in  Scotland  or 
Ireland-  and  this  sufficiently  shows  how 
very  indefinitely  the  word  accent  is  gene- 
rally used. 

Mr.  Elphinston,  who  must  be  allowed  to 
be  a  competent  judge  in  this  case,  tells  us, 
that  in  Scotland  they  pronounce  silence,  bids, 
canvds,  sentence,  triumph,  comfdrt,  soldce,  con- 
strue, rescue,  respite,  govirn,  harass,  ransack, 
cancil,  with  the  accent  on  the  last  syllable 
instead  of  the  first.  To  this  list  may  be  added 
the  word  menace,  which  they  pronounce  as 
if  written  mendss ;  and  though  they  place  the

INTRODUCTION.

nrcent  on  the  last  gj-llahip  of  canal,  like  the 
KiiKlish,  thpy  broaden  ilip  a  in  the  last  syl- 
lable, ft»  if  the  word  were  spelled  canaicl.  It 
may  be  farther  obscrvr-d,  that  tbey  place  an 
accent  on  the  comparative  adverb  a*,  in  the 
phrase*  tw  much,  a*  httl*,  a»  manp,  at  great, 
ic,  while  the  Englifh,  except  in  Bomc  very 
particular  emnhatical  cayes,  lay  no  Rtre^s 
on  this  word,  but  pronounce  these  phrapes 
like  words  of  t»  o  or  three  syllables  without 
any  accent  on  the  first. 

But,  besides  the  mispronunciation  of  linfcle 
words,  there  is  a  tone  of  voice  «ith  which 
these  words  are  accompanied,  that  distin- 
jruif'hes  a  native  of  Ireland  or  Scotland  as 
much  as  an  improper  sound  of  the  letters. 
This  is  vulgarly,  and  (if  it  dofs  not  mean 
stress  only,  hut  the  kind  of  stress),  I  think, 
not  improperly,  called  the  a'^cent.*  For 
tbouKh  there  is  an  asperitj-  in  the  Irish  dia- 
lect, and  a  drawl  in  the  Scotch,  independent 
of  the  slides  or  inflections  they  make  use  of, 
yet  it  may  with  confidence  be  affirmed,  that 
mtich  of  the  peculiarity  which  di'tinguisheg 
•ticse  dialects  maj-  be  reduced  tf>  a  predomi- 
nant use  of  one  ot  tliefc  slides.  !>et  any  one 
who  has  sufficiently  studied  the  speaking 
voice  to  distinKuii'h  the  slides  obsene  the 
j)r()nimciation  of  an  Irishman  and  a  Scotch- 
tnan,  who  have  much  of  the  dialect  of  ihe.r 
country,  and  he  will  find  that  the  former 
ahoiinds  with  the  falling,  and  the  latter  with 
the  rising  inflection  ;t  and  if  this  be  the  case, 
a  teacher,  if  he  understands  these  slides, 
ouRht  to  direct  hi?  instnicticn  so  as  to  re- 
medy the  imperfection.  But  as  avoiding  the 
wrong,  and  seizing  the  right  at  the  same  in- 
•tant,  is  perhaps  too  great  a  task  for  human 
powers,  I  would  advise  a  native  of  Ireland, 
who  has  much  of  the  accent,  to  pronounce 
almost  all  his  words,  and  end  all  his  sen- 
tences with  the  rising  slide;  and  a  Scotch- 
man, in  the  samt-manncr,  to  use  the  falling 
Inflection:  this  will,  in  some  measure,  coun- 
ter.ict  the  natural  propensity,  and  bids  lairer 
for  bringing  the  pupil  to  that  nearly  equal 
mixture  of  both  slides  which  distinguishes 
the  English  speaker,  than  endeavouring  at 
first  to  catch  tne  agreeable  variety.  For  this 
purpose  the  teacher  ou?ht  to  pronounce  all 
the  single  words  in  the  lesson  with  the 
falling  inflection  to  a  Scotchman,  and  with 
the  rising  to  an  Irishman ;  and  snould  fre- 
quently give  the  pauses  in  a  sentence  the 
»ame  inflections  to  each  of  these  pupils, 
where  he  would  vary  them  to  a  native  of 
England.  But  while  the  human  voice  re- 
mains unstudied  there  is  little  expectation 
that  this  distinction  of  the  slides  should  be 
apnlied  to  these  useful  purposes. 

Besides  a  peculiarity  of  inflection,  which 
I  take  to  be  a  falling  circumflex,  airectly 
opposite  to  that  of  the  Scotch,  the  AVelsh 
pronounce  the  sharp  consonants  and  aspira- 
tions instead  of  the  flat. J  Thus,  for  big,  they 
say  pick ;  for  blood,  phot ;  and  for  good,  coot. 
Instead  of  virtue  and  vice,  they  say  firtue  and 
Jice;  instead  of  zeal  and  praise,  they  say  »eal 

*  See  this  more  fully  exemplified  in  Ele- 
j    ments  of  Elocution,  vol.  ii.  page  13. 

+  Or  rather  the  rising  circumflex.  For  an 
explanation  of  this  inflection,  see  Rhetorical 
Grammar,  third  edition,  page  79. 

t  See  pages  vl.  and  vii. 


and  jtrace;  instead  of  Ihege  and  those,  they 
say  thece  and  fhore;  and  instead  of  azure  and 
osier,  they  say  ayfher  and  oiher :  and  for  jail, 
chad.  Thus  there  are  nine  distinct  conso- 
nant sounds  which,  to  the  Welsh,  are  en- 
tirely useless.  To  speak  with  proprietj', 
tli'-refore,  the  Welsh,  ought  for  some  time 
to  pronounce  the  flat  consonant;:  and  aspira- 
tions only;  that  is,  they  ought  not  only  to 
pronounce  them  where  the  letters  require 
the  flat  sound,  but  even  where  they  require 
the  sharp  sound:  this  will  be  the  best  way 
to  acquire  a  habit:  and  when  this  is  once 
done,  a  distinction  will  be  easily  maile,  and 
a  just  pronunciation  more  readily  acquired. 

There  is  scarcely  any  part  of  England, 
remote  from  the  capital,  where  a  different 
system  of  pronunciation  does  not  prevail. 
.\s  in  Wales  they  pronounce  the  sharp  con- 
sonants for  the  flat,  so  in  Somersetshire 
they  nronounce  many  of  the  flat  instead  of 
the  sharp:  thus,  for  Somerfietghire,  they  say 
Zomerzetzhire:  for  father,  rather;  for  Mink, 
mink;  and  for  tvie,  zhure. 

There  are  dialects  peculiar  to  Cornwall, 
Lancashire,  Yorkshire,  and  every  distant 
county  in  England;  hut  as  a  consideration 
of  these  would  lead  to  a  detail  too  minute 
for  the  present  occasion,  1  shall  conclude 
these  remarks  with  a  few  observations  on 
the  peculiarities  of  my  countrvnien,  the 
Cockneys;  who,  as  they  are  the  models  of 
pronunciation  to  the  distant  provinces,  ought 
to  be  the  more  scrupulously  correct. 

FiBST  Fault  07  Ijohdoskbs. — rronouncing 

t  indittinetly  after  st. 
The  letter  «  after  »t,  from  t  he  very  di  fficulty 
of  its  pronunciation,  is  often  sounded  inarti- 
culately. The  inhabitants  of  London,  of  the 
lowest  order,  cut  the  knot,  and  pronounce  it 
in  a  distinct  syllable,  as  if  e  were  before  it; 
but  this  is  to  be  avoided  as  the  greatest  ble- 
mish in  speaking :  the  three  last  letters  in 
po'1ii,Jist»,  miftt,  &.C.,  mutt  all  be  distinctly 
heard  in  one  syllable,  and  without  permitting 
the  letters  to  coalesce.  For  the  acquiring  of 
this  sound,  it  will  be  proper  to  select  nouns 
that  end  in  st  or  fte;  to  form  them  into 
plurals,  and  pronounce  them  forcibly  and 
distiuctly  every-  daj'.  The  same  may  be  ob- 
served of  the  third  person  of  verbs  ending  in 
ttt  or  ttet,  as  persists,  wattes,  hastes,  li.c. 

Secodd  Fault. — Pronovncing  w  for  v,  and 
inversely. 

The  pronunciation  of  r  for  ir,  and  more 
frequently  of  w  for  v,  among  the  inhabitants 
of  London,  and  those  not  always  of  the  lower 
order,  is  a  blemish  of  the  first  magnitude. 
The  difficulty  of  remedying  this  delect  is  the 
gT^ater,  as  the  cure  of  one  of  these  mistakes 
has  a  tendency  to  promote  the  other. 

Thus,  if  you  be  very  careful  to  make  a 
pupil  pronounce  veal  and  vinegar,  not  as  if 
written  weal  and  winegar,  yon  will  find  bin: 
very  apt  to  pronounce  ivtne  and  wind  as  if 
written  vine  and  vind.  The  onlv  method  of 
recfifj'ing  this  liabit  seems  to  be  this:  Let 
the  niipil  select  from  a  Dictionary,  not  only 
all  tne  words  that  begin  with  v,  but  as  many 
as  he  can  of  those  that  have  this  letter  in 
any  other  part.  Let  him  be  told  to  bite  his 
under  lip  while  he  is  soundmg  the  v  in  those 
words,  and  to  practise  this  every  day  till  be 


INTRODUCTION. 


pronounce  the  v  properly  at  first  sight :  then, 
mul  not  till  then,  let  liiin  pursue  the  same 
inctliod  with  thew;  whicli  he  must  be  di- 
rected to  pronounce  by  a  pouting  out  of  the 
lips  without  suffering  them  to  touch  the 
teeth.  Thus,  by  siviuR  all  the  attention  to 
only  one  of  these  letters  at  atirae,  and  fixing 
liy  iinbit  the  true  soMnd  of  that,  we  shall  at 
lasilind  both  of  them  reduced  to  their  proper 
promniriation,  in  a  shorter  time  than  by 
endeavouring  to  rectify  them  both  at  once. 

Third  Fault. — Not  sounding  h  after  w. 

The  aspirate  h  is  often  sunk,  particularly 
in  the  capital,  where  we  do  not  fitul  theleast 
distinction  of  sound  between  while  and  wile, 
wlu't  and  wet,  where  and  were,  &c.  Tlie  best 
uietliod  to  rectify  this,  is  to  collect  all  tlie 
words  of  this  description  from  a  Dictionary, 
and  write  tliemdown;  and,  instead  of  the  uA, 
to  begin  them  witli  hoo  in  adistinct  syllable, 
and  so  to  pronounce  them.  Thus,  let  while 
be  written  and  sounded  hoo-ile;  whet,hoo-et; 
where,  hooare;  lehip,  hoo-ip,  &c.  This  is  no 
more,  as  Dr.  Lowih  observes,  tlian  placing 
the  aspirate  in  its  true  position  before  the  i«, 
as  it  is  in  the  Saxon,  which  tlie  words  come 
I  roni ;  where  we  may  observe,  that  t  hough  we 
have  altered  the  orthography  of  our  ancestors, 
we  have  still  preserved  their  pronunciation. 

Fourth  Fault. — Not  sounding  h  where  it 
ought  to  be  sounded,  and  inversely. 

\  still  worse  nabit  than  the  last  prevails, 
chi°fly  among  the  people  of  London,  that  of 
sinking  the  Aat  the  ueginningof  words  where 
it  ought  to  be  sounded,  and  ot  sounding  if, 
either  where  it  is  not  seen,  or  where  it  ought 
to  be  s\ink.  Thus  we  not  unfrequently  hear, 
especially  among  children,  heart  ])ronounced 
art,  and  arm,  harm.  This  is  a  vice  perfectly 
similar  to  that  of  pronouncing  the  r  for  the 
w,  and  the  iv  for  the  v,  and  requires  a  similar 
method  to  correct  it. 

As  there  are  so  very  few  words  in  the  lan- 
guage where  the  initial  h  is  sunk,  we  may 
select  these  from  the  rest,  and,  without  set- 
ting the  pupil  right  when  he  mispronounces 
these,  or  when  he  prefixes  h  improperly  to 
oti'.er  words,  we  may  make  him  pronounce 
all  the  words  where  h  is  soumled,  till  he 
lias  almost  torgot  there  are  anj*  words  pro- 
nounced otherwise:  then  he  may  go  over 
those  words  to  which  he  improperly  prefixes 
the  h,  and  those  where  the  h  is  seen,  out  not 
sounded,  without  any  danger  of  an  inter-

A  RIGHT  PRONUNCIATION  OP  EVERY   WORD  IN  THE  ENGLISH  LANOUAGE. 


As  the  sounds  of  the  vowels  are  different 
in  ditTerent  languages,  it  would  be  endless 
to  bring  parallel  sounds  from  the  various 
languages  of  Europe;  but,  as  the  French  is 
so  generally  understood  upon  the  Continent, 
if  we  can  reduce  the  sound  of  the  English 
letters  to  those  of  the  French,  we  shall 
render  the  pronunciarion  of  our  language 
very  generally  attainable:    and  thisj  it  is

change.  .\8  these  latter  words  are  but  few, 
1  shall  siibjoin  a  catalogue  of  them  for  the 
use  of  the  learner:  Heir,  heiress,  honest,  ho- 
nesty, konestlt/,  honour,  Iwnourable,  honour- 
ably, hospital,  hostler,  hour,  hourly,  humble, 
humbles,  humbly,  humour,  humorist,  humorous, 
humorously,  humorsome:  where  we  may  ob- 
serve that  humour  and  its  compounds  not 
only  sink  the  h,  but  sound  the  u  like  the 
l)ronoun  you,  or  the  noun  yew,  as  if  written 
yewmour,  yewmourous,  &c. 

Thus  1  have  endeavoured  to  correct  some 
ofthe  more  glaring  errors  of  my  countrymen, 
w  bo,  with  all  their  faults,  are  still  up<m  the 
whole  the  best  pronouncers  of  the  Enalish 
language:  tor  tliough  the  pron\inciation  of 
Iiondon  is  certainly  erroneous  in  many 
words,  yet,  upon  beingcompared  with  that  of 
any  other  place,  it  is  undoubtedly  the  bcvt; 
that  is,  not  only  the  best  by  courtesy,  and  be- 
cause it  happens  to  be  the  pronunciation  of 
the  capital,  but  the  best  by  a  better  title— 
thatol  being  more  generally  received;  or,  in 
other  words,  though  the  people  of  London 
arc  erroneous  in  the  pronunciation  of  many  ) 
wonls,  the  inhabitants  of  every  other  place 
are  erroneous  in  many  more.  Kay,  harsh  as 
the  sentence  may  seem,  those  at  a  consider- 
able distance  from  the  capital,  do  not  only 
mispronounce  many  words  taken  separately, 
but  they  scarcely  pronounce,  with  purity,  a 
single  word,  syllable,  or  letter.  Thus,  if  the 
short  sound  of  the  letter u  in  trunk,  suiik,l<ic. 
ditler  from  the  sound  of  that  letter  in  the 
northern  parts  of  England,  where  they  sound 
it  like  the  u  in  bull,  and  nearly  as  if  tlio 
words  were  written  Iroonk,  soonk,  &c.,  it  ne- 
ccssarilj-  (ollows  that  every  word  where  the 
second  sound  of  that  letter  occurs  must  by 
those  provincials  be  mispronounced. 

But  though  the  inhabitants  of  London 
have  this  manifest  advantage  over  all  the 
other  inhabitants  of  the  island,  they  have 
the  disadvantage  of  being  more  disgraced  by 
their  peculiarities  than  any  other  peoi)le. 
The  grand  difference  between  the  metropolis 
and  the  provinces  is,  that  people  of  education 
in  London  are  generally  free  from  the  vices 
ofthe  vulgar;  but  the  best  educated  people 
in  the  provinces,  if  constantlj'  resident  there, 
are  sure  to  be  strongly  tinctured  with  the 
dialect  of  the  country  in  whicli  they  live. 
Hence  it  is,  that  the  vulgar  pronunciation  oi 
London,  though  not  half  so  erroneous  as  that 
of  Scotland,  Ireland,  or  any  of  the  provinces, 
is,  to  a  person  of  correct  taste,  a  thousand 
times  more  offensive  and  disgusting.

to  make  the  pupil  dwell  some  time  with 
the  tongue  beyond  the  teeth,  in  order  to 
form  a  habit,  and  to  pronounce  dfiily  some 
words  out  of  a  Dictionary  beginning  and 
ending  with  these  letters. 

These  directions,  it  is  presumed,  if  pro- 
perly attended  to,  will  be  sufficient  to  give 
such  foreigners  as  understand  French,  and 
have  not  access  to  a  master,  a  competent 
knowledge  of  English  pronuuciation ;  but  to 
render  the  sounds  of  the  vowels  marked  by 
figures  in  this  Dictionary  still  more  easily 
to  be  comprehended— with  those  Englisli 
words  which  exemplify  the  sounds  of  the 
vowels,  I  have  associated  such  French  words 
as  have  vowels  exactly  corresponding  to  I 
them,  and  which  immediately  convey  the 
true  English  pronunciation.  These  should 
be  committed  to  memorj-,  or  written  down     i

and  held  in  the  hand  while  the  pupil  is  in- 
specting the  Dictionary. 

Perhaps  the  greatest  advantage  to  fo- 
reigners and  provincials  will  be  derived  from 
the  classification  of  words  of  a  similar  sound, 
and  drawing  the  line  between  the  general 
rule  and  the  exception.  This  has  been  an 
arduous  task;  but  it  is  hoped  the  benefit 
arising  from  it  will  amply  repay  it.  When 
the  numerous  varieties  of  sounds  annexed 
to  vowels,  diphthongs,  and  consonants,  lie 
scattered  without  bounds,  a  learner  is  be- 
wildered and  discouraged  from  attemptmg 
to  distinguish  them ;  but  when  they  are  all 
clas.-'ed,  arranged,  and  enumerated,  the  va- 
riety seems  less,  the  number  smaller,  and 
the  distinction  easier.  What  an  inextricable 
labyrinth  do  the  diphthongs  ta  and  ou,  form

fusion  vanishes,  they  become  much  less 
formidable,  and  a  learner  has  it  in  his  power, 
by  repeating  them  daily,  to  become  master 
of  them  all  in  a  very  little  time. 


»  £^.— The  regular  sound  of  this  diph- 
thong is  that  of  the  first  sound  of  e  in  here; 
tut  its  irregular  sound  of  short  e  is  so  fre- 
quent as  to  make  a  catalogue  of  both  neces-

in  the  pronunciation  of  the  capital,  and 
wish  to  practise  in  order  to  form  a  habit.

OU. — The  first  or  proper  sound  of  this 
diphthong  is  composed  of  the  a  in  ball,  and 
the  00  in  woo,  or  rather  the  «  in  bull,  and  is 
equivalent  to  the  ow  in  down,  frown,  &c. 
This  sound  is  heard  in  abound,  about,  account, 
acousticks,  aground,  aloud,  amount,  around, 
arouse,  astound,  avouch,  bough,  bounce,  bound, 
bounty,  bounteous,  bout,  carouse,  chouse,  cloud,

place),  vouch,  vouchsafe,  without,  scaramouch. 
The  second  sound  is  that  of  short  u  in 
bud,  as  is  heard  in  the  following  words  and 
their  compounds:  Adjourn,  journey ,  journal, 
bourgeon,  country,  cousin,  couple,  uccouple, 
double,  trouble,  courteous,  courtesy,  courage, 
encourage,  joust,  gournet,  housewife,  flourish,

slough  (a  cast  skin),  scourge,  southerly, 
southern,  southern-wood,  southward,  touch, 
touchy,  young,  younker,  and  youngster;  but 
southern,  southerly,  and  southward,  are  some- 
times pronounced  regularly  like  south:  this, 
however,  is  far  from  the  prevailing  pronun- 
ciation. This  is  the  soimd  this  diphthong 
always  has  when  the  accent  is  not  ou  it, 
unless  in  very  few  instances,  where  the 
compound  retains  the  sound  of  the  simple, 
as  ixi pronoun;  but  in  sojourn  and  sojourner, 
with  the  accent  on  the  first  syllable,  and  in 
every  unaccented  termination  in  our  and 
ous,  this  diphthong  has  exactly  the  sound 
of  short  u :  "thus,  favour,  honour,  odour,  and 
famous,  are  pronounced  as  if  written /airur, 
honur,  odur,  &nd  famus. 

The  third  sound  given  to  these  vowels  is 
that  of  00  in  coo  and  woo,  and  is  found  in 
the  following  words:  Bouge,  croup,  group, 
aggroiip,  amour,  paramour,  bouse,  bouiy, 
boutefeu,  capouch,  cartouch,  fourbe,  gout 
(taste),  and  ragout  (pronounced  goo  and

The  fourth  sound  of  thisdipbthone  isthat 
of  long  open  o,  and  is  heard  in  the  following 
words;  Thmiph,  althovph,  tnviler,  court,  ac.

properly  by  Dr.  Kenrick  with  roU),  and  bn- 
rough,  thorough,  furlough,  fourteen,  concovm*, 
and  intercourse,  preserve  the  diphthonic  in 
the  sound  of  lonn  o,  though  not  under  the 
accent. 

The  fifth  sound  of  o«  is  like  the  nnnn  awe, 
and  is  heard  only  in  ought,  bought,  brought, 
fought,  benought,  fought,  nought,  thought,  me- 
thought,  uvrought. 

The  sixth  sound  is  that  of  short  oo,  or  the 
«  in  bull,  and  is  heard  only  in  the  auxiliary 
verbs  would,  coulA,  thouid,  rhyminj?  with 
good,  hood,  ttood,  &c 

The  seventh  sound  is  that  of  short  o,  and 
heard  only  in  cough,  and  trouah,  rhyininic 
with  off,  and  scoff';  and  in  lough  and  though, 
pronouncpd  lock  and  thock. 

*  There  is  a  peculiarity  of  accentuation  in 
certain  words  of  two  syllables,  which  are 
both  nouns  and  verbs,  that  is  not  unworthy 
of  notice ;  the  nouns  having  the  accent  on 
the  first  syllable,  and  the  verbs  on  the  last. 
This  seems  an  instinctive  effort  in  the  lan- 
grua^c  (if  the  expression  «ill  be  allowed  me), 
to  compensate  in  some  measure  for  the  want 
of  different  terminations  for  thpse  difi"erent 
parts  of  speech.  The  words  which  admit  of 
this  diversity  of  accent  are  the  following  :

But  scarcely  any  method  will  be  so  nscful 
for  gaining  the  Engli«h  accents  a«  the  read- 
ing of  verse.  This  will  naturally  Ifsd  the 
ear  to  tbe right  accentuation  ;  and  though  a 
different  position  of  theaccnt  is  freqiifntly 
to  be  met  with  in  the  beginning  of  a  verse, 
there  is  a  sufficient  regijlanty  to  render  ihe 
pronouncing  of  verse  a  powerful  means  of 
obtaining  such  a  distinction  of  force  anj 
feeblrne«s  as  is  commonly  called  the  accent; 
tor  it  may  be  observed,  that  a  foreigner  is 
no  less  distinguishable  by  placing  an  accent 
npon  cenain  words  to  which  tbe  Engli>h 
give  no  stress,  than  by  placing  the  stress 
upon  a  wrong  syllable.  Thus,  if  a  foreigner, 
«hen  he  call*  fi>r  bread  at  table  by  saying. 
Give  me  tome  bread,  lays  an  equal  stress  upr  n 
every  word,  though  every  word  should  be 
pronounced  with  its  exact  sound,  we  imme- 
diately perceive  he  is  not  a  native.  An 
Englishman  would  pronounce  these  four 
words  like  two,  with  the  accent  on  the  first 
syllahlp  of  the  first,  and  on  the  last  syllable 
of  the  la»t,  as  if  written  gireme  sornehrtd; 
or  rather  jr'tTue  »vmbrM;  or  more  commonly, 
though  vulgarlv,  gimme  tombrM.  Verse  may 
sometimes  inefnce  a  foreigner,  as  it  docs 
sometimes  injudicious  natives,  to  lay   tha
